If you hold the brightness button on the Touch Bar you can slide your finger left and right to adjust the brightness so it’s one (long) press. Same with volume.

Yep. This[0] post[1] from a few months ago touched on this with more discussion.

I believe this is one of the mitigations, which is why it didn’t work.

+1 to this. For my first two years the university didn't have student Matlab licenses but the CS department machines had copies so I would ssh -X for my coursework requiring Matlab (needed the GUI to see plots).

Lowered floor with ramp conversion (lots of specialty manufacturers do this, mine is VMI), custom reduced effort (2:1 ratio) horizontal steering (like a bus, but 8 inch diameter), reduced effort gas/brake hand control (hand control is Menox, I think the reduced effort part is custom), Paravan Touch system for ignition/shifting/secondaries, tri-pin on all hand interfaces to hold my hands in place with special splints.

You can buy a van from the conversion companies pretty easy, my steering column was built by a specialty company in San Diego. All together it works very well for me.

edit: here's a picture of the setup, the steering wheel is elevated here but it normally sits right above my lap: https://imgur.com/a/qOSP5Dg

Nope. Quadriplegic.

I disagree. Touch screens without accompanying physical controls, maybe, but I don’t think touch screens should be banned. I’m a quadriplegic and drive a heavily modified van. I accept that I belong to an extremely small demographic but without a touch screen I wouldn’t be able to control any secondary functions. I think the way my Chrysler Pacifica does it is nice- there’s an 8” touch screen but also physical controls for the HVAC and media.

Not a good few days for Mozilla and Firefox. They just pushed 67.0.3[0] two days ago to fix a zero day.

Hoooooooo boy I live 6 miles away from the pickup. I think I’ll swing by and try to grab one. No idea what I’ll do with it but I’m sure I’ll find something.

Similar, but OT: does anyone know of a script that will delete your tweets from before X date? There's tools that bulk delete, but I want to delete from before a certain date.

I thought a lot of tech stocks did this immediately after IPO as the pre-IPO shareholders sold off their shares?

It pretty much is, but the appeal (at least to me) is abstracting away all the framework writing. It seems like it’s easier to run small, unique jobs on it similar to something like YARN.

I’ve worked with Mesos pretty extensively before and when Uber first announced Peloton last year I was intrigued. Peloton seems to be a wrapper around Mesos that allows for running smaller, unique jobs without having to write a Mesos framework for each. Writing a Mesos framework for every small job you have can get annoying when you just want to define how your job should run and don’t really care for the resources or task allocation of the job, and it seems like Peloton solves this on Mesos. It’s similar to YARN but not limited to Hadoop. It would have been useful for the project that I worked on because it was more geared for our use case and shifting from Mesos to k8s would’ve been a huge engineering project.

I think it’s because once they are in international waters, they use extremely dirty burning bunker fuel.

For background, earlier this month, DarkMatter applied for Mozilla root CA inclusion. There was an email thread [1], with concerns about DarkMatter, and one of the emails[2] was concerned that DarkMatter was generating serial numbers in this exact same fashion using EJBCA. There was a pretty long-winded discussion in the thread about whether flipping the MSB constituted a loss of 1-bit of entropy and an EJBCA dev chimed in[3] saying basically that they are pushing a fix to solve this. This seems to have kicked off this issue. (there's a lot more to it, with DarkMatter's CTO saying that the method did not constitute a loss of a bit, etc, but this thread seems to be where the issue was discovered at least.)

Well I'm one of today's 10,000[0] so thanks for posting anyway!

It sounds like they changed it then since I moved only 6 months ago.

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. When I filed my change of address/mail forwarding, they sent me an email saying that Informed Delivery was suspended on my old address and then they also sent a letter to the old address which was forwarded to the new address which basically said the same thing.

I guess if you don’t file change of address then they won’t know.

Does anyone know if Bluetooth bulbs are safer in this regard? I have a couple Sylvania Bluetooth bulbs instead of wifi bulbs because I'm concerned about wifi bulbs being on my network, and I figure you need proximity to operate a Bluetooth bulb.

Right, he was projecting 2019 production publicly, and the SEC cites the first tweet as the projection that violated the original agreement.

According to the filing posted by another user, the first one.

For me just typing "n" suffices for autocomplete....maybe I should pay more attention to my habits.

Thanks for writing this Sahil.

> But I was accountable to our creators, our employees, and our investors–in that order. We helped thousands of creators get paid, every month. About $2,500,000 was going to go into the pockets of creators — for rent checks and mortgages, for student loans and kids’ college funds. And it was only growing! Could I really just turn that faucet off?

I really appreciate that you value being beholden to your customers more than your investors. It seems like as you've bought back your ownership you've had more opportunity to run your company the way you want to, and I admire that that way is doing right by your customers. If I ever start my own company, I would like to run it this way.

Unfortunately the one local grocery store that does have the service runs it through Instacart anyway.

UberEats/Grubhub don't have the same selection of restaurants in my area and I'm really not sure how much I trust them to not pull this same thing either. I will definitely try to order from those services if available but I'll probably still tip in cash.

DoorDash is extremely helpful for me because I'm disabled and can't cook so it's really convenient for me to be able to order food for delivery when I don't have a caregiver around to cook food for me. I'm extremely disappointed by DoorDash's policies but because of my circumstances I can't just boycott. I live in a college town too, so most DoorDash drivers are students who are just barely getting by, so I'll be tipping my drivers in cash from now.

I'm learning React and even though you prefaced it with "not beginner friendly", that was very helpful for understanding what goes on. Thanks!

Yep. 5 years as an executive seems short to me, and it seems like she was only just getting her agenda fully implemented. Given that she just did this [0] interview too, I wonder if there’s something happening behind the scenes.

> Suspects can be held without charge for as long as 23 days, and they have no right to a lawyer during questioning. Prosecutors also have the power to forbid family visits. When the 23-day period expires, a suspect can be rearrested for another offense, resetting the clock to zero. And once someone has been indicted, the outcome is all but predetermined, leaving defense attorneys to focus on coaching their clients to confess in the least damaging way.

The U.S. criminal justice system receives a lot of (arguably well-deserved) flak, but this seems almost borderline inhumane. Is "innocent until proven guilty" not important in Japan like it is in the U.S.?
